Anyway my son is currently here in Doha since June 2011 on a family visit visa, I just transferred him from family visit visa to residence permit. So i guess I have to prepare for at least Qr. 600 for his RP. Again thank you guys. : )

worry though because this is just a prelude for your son to gain entry here.
